Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Test results of the Sound-Ear-Check will be compared with the results of the standard pure-tone audiogram and conventional internet screening tests. The sensitivity and specificity can be assessed to investigate whether the Sound-Ear-Check is a valid screening method to diagnose hearing problems.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary study parameters that will be studied are differences in S/N score between test and retest, the correlation between S/N scores of test and retest in order to estimate the test-retest reliability and the learning effect. Furthermore we will investigate the effect of age in the outcomes of the test.	—
